Both men— and especially Mr. Taft, had a fondness for making “ swings around the circle.” T b t advisers of President Wilson have been try ing for more than a year to get him to go to Panama, and now they in sist that he should go to Alaska, or at the very least make a trip across the country to meet the millions oi "original Wilson men,” and the rest of the voters, and explain face to face the accomplishments of the Administration President Wilson is eutirely unlike his predecessors, inasmuch as he does not care to tiavei very much. A s a platform speaker he is one of the best that the countri has produced in recent years, and those who have cast their fortunes with him are most anxious to have him go out into the byways and hedges, and im press his personality upon the mass es. The President may decide to take a trip during the summer and fall, but it is safe to say that it will not be because of his personal in clination, inasmuch as it has been clearly pointed out that he prefers the comforts of the White House, aad likes nothing better than to to stay there and stick to his job.

Kelley LOOKS LIKE A SCRAP While leading Democrats of the House, including the "big three” — Speaker Clark, Leader Underwood and Representative Kitchin, have expressed disapproval of the position of President Wilson in reversing the Baltimore platform in reference to canal tolls; the White House has taken careful note of the divided condition among Democrats in the House, with the result that it is said that Mr. Wilson will pull a tighter rein in forcing his position than he has has heretofore assumed in reference to previous matters And so the country may be shown whether the Democartic platform or the President ot the United States is the real matter of the job. MATHEMATICAL VICTORIES For almost a year there has been placid harmony among Republican and Demoirative members of Con gress, and now the mathematicians of the two parties have it figured out that theie are sixty-seven Dem ocrats in the House who were elect ed by a minority vote in November 1912,coming from districts normally Republican The discovery has been made that if the Republicans and Progressives can keep out of each others hair that they have a fighting chance in seventy-four Con gressional districts, and if they could win all these they would have control of the House. While Colonel Roosevelt is in South Amer ica the gt nlleraen in Washington are trying to figure this thing out. County Judge.......................John T. Hall Commissioners— W . T. Dement, Geo. J.

Dr. Walter Culin ; PARCEL POST TO REPLACE MIDDLE MAN Societies will get the very best PR IN T IN G at the office of Coquille Herald by which the postmasters are di rected to receive names of persons that are willing to supply (arm produce in retail quantities bv par cel post shipments. The city con sumer is given the names of the farmers, and he is enabled to place his orders for butter and eggs and other (arm produce, which will be delivered by the postman at bis door. The Postmaster General predicts that the trial will prove a success, and result in enabling the people of the country “ to enjoy the potent beuefits of the parcel post.” Mr. Burleson add that “ no one has ever questioned the possibil ity oi reducing the cost ot living by establishing direct relations between the home consumer and the origi nal producer.” It Is the purpose of the Postoffice Department to make the postoffice the direct agency be tween the individual producer and the individual consumer. The “ middleman” is to be eliminated; and this, says the Postoffice Depart ment, will result in a reduction of the cost of living TO SOLVE MUNICIPAL PROBLEMS University of Oregon Offers Expert Assistance to Commu nities Dealing with Questions of Administration In order to assist and serve the societies such as commercial clubs, communities of the state in their improvement associations, welfare expanding and developing life, the leagues, health societies, women’s University ol Oregon has estab clubs etc , in working out plans for lished a department which has for social betterment programs; and its purpose the accumulation of in with county superintendents and formation on topics which concern county school boards with speciall the geueral welfare, and the distri reference to the finances of rura bution of this data by means of schools.

The Coos County Bar Associa tion has the foundation for a con science fund— if the nucleus can be protected from the onslaughts of the numerous claimants. J. J.

Yours respectfully, J. W. Bennett NOTES ON TUE PHOTOPLAYS Of Interest to Those W h o Patronize the Movies In naming over the bunch of charming young leading ladies who appear in the Vitagrapb pictures, a couple of weeks ago, it was by an oversight that the name of one of the most popular of them all was omitted. Lillian Walker is always a pure delight when she appears In a comedy, and when her sunny and entirely natural smile brings those two deep and fetching dimples into action she is irresistible. Within the past few weeks she has appeared four or five times with Jobu Bunny ot Wallie Van, or both, and the pictures have been a treat for the patrons of the Scenic.
